It's Time For U - Union Station Revitalization

Imagine a train station that's bright and airy, allowing thousands of
passengers to easily pass through on a daily basis, getting to and from
destinations quickly, comfortably, and effortlessly.

We continue to move forward with an extensive project that will
revitalize Union Station, while maintaining the historical significance
of the building and creating a better commuter experience for you.

The revitalization of the train shed roof is a critical component of
The Big Move, Metrolinx's
regional transportation plan, which will dramatically improve how people
move in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area.

It starts from the top

The most noticeable aspect of the Union Station Revitalization
project will be the natural light streaming through the new roof and
glass atrium that is being built over the passenger platforms and railway
tracks. The innovative design for the new train shed roof has received a
2012 Canadian Architect Award of Excellence.

You can also expect new staircases, additional vertical access
points, and an overhaul of the platforms and
station concourses. While we're at it, we're constructing the tracks,
signals, platform, and station for the
Union Pearson (UP) Express. Preserving the historical elements of this almost
century-old building is also part of the plan.

Union Station Milestones: Working Together

In parallel to the work we're doing, the City of Toronto is
undertaking a major revitalization project to the portions of Union
Station owned by them. For information on their projects, please
visit their
website.

Meanwhile, the TTC is constructing a second platform in their
station. For information regarding their project, please
visit their website.

We're putting you first

Our goal in this extensive five year revitalization plan is to put
you first. To do this we are staging construction in phases to minimize
service disruptions and inconvenience to you.
